Even if the loser does walk away quietly, I will be surprised if capitol hill actually funds the new tanker with the federal budget situation.
I remember hearing the lineup of who got the new tanker first a couple years ago. There were actually a couple reserve units in the top 5, if memory serves me correct. Something like McConnell, MacDill, Grissom, Grand Forks.
I will be surprised if we replace every 135, tail for tail.
